The books I carry with me.

Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed makes me believe that I am not alone in my fears and desires, that I can be a much better version of myself, that I am strong enough to do what I know is the right thing. It reminds me to trust in the wisdom of the Universe. If that sounds a little too woo woo for you, well, sorry I’m not sorry. I discovered this year that perhaps I need to stop worrying and trying and striving and wishing so hard. I (for the most part) stopped wanting to know, wanting to control, wanting things done and dusted now now now. It’s taken me this long to internalise all the lessons of my family and Cheryl Strayed and literature and human experience.

The Lover’s Dictionary by David Levithan makes me believe in love again. It makes me want to fall in love again. I just love this book so much.

Ways in which I am probably just a little bit stupid and not exactly a real adult.

Guys. Hey, guys. I moved to a new Internet home a few days ago. It’s called - what else - I Am Not Lost. It’s not perfect yet, but apparently the goal is to get things up and running, and just worry about getting it perfect later.

Check it out. I hope you like it.

If you don’t tear up and feel a lot of Buffy feelings listening to this song, then you are a damn Cylon.

slaughterhouse90210:

“Stopping was death. Stopping meant you’d given up and turned the keys of the world over to other people. The only option for a creative person was constant motion—a lifetime of busy whirligigging in a generally forward direction, until you couldn’t do it any longer.”

Letters from a Young Whatever #6: Living a Life with Ardor

Mon, 20 May 2013 18:30:07 +1000

Letters from a Young Whatever #6: Living a Life with Ardor:

“There is, of course, a fine line between living a life of ardor and setting one’s dial to self-destruct. There is a balance between living a life of violent originality and sequestering oneself to boxes built of rules containing keyboards. We can’t burn ourselves out. We can’t spend so much time living that we never sit down to write.”
